1quick1 getting down on Crossfit
 

I decided to start updating my journal here as well since I started Crossfit. It's not pretty right now but these workouts are kicking my ass.

Started WOD today. I was going to start this weekend but ended up playing 2.5 hours of roller hockey saturday and 3 hours of softball on Sunday and the older we get the harder it seems to get all the people together to do this stuff.

Today I was suppose to do...

Four rounds for time of:
Run 400 meters
50 Squats

Got in the car and was heading to track at my old high school. I stopped at the sporting good store on the way over and found a decent stop watch for $15. They've been completely rebuilding my old highschool for the last two years but we've been playing softball at the fields so I figured the track would still be in working order. WRONG....I get there and there's bulldozer in there and the track around the field is now a dirt trail so they must be redoing it :thumbdown: So I hurry and head back to the gym to do a modified workout.

For time

40 squats @ 135lbs
Run 1 mile

Total Time: 14:38 - slow I know but I ran like a 10 minute mile :laughing:

My lower back is ridiculously soar from Saturday. I was sweating like a pig after finishing this.
